Summary
Hisense VIDAA Smart TV firmware V0000.01.00a.P0220 is affected. The UPnP/DLNA RenderingControl service on TCP port 38400 does not check authentication for each command after a one-time DLNA pairing (CWE-306). A LAN-adjacent attacker can send unauthenticated commands that change volume and mute, override the physical remote, and reset picture and audio calibration settings. A public exploit is linked in the references.

Description from the CNA
Hisense VIDAA Smart TV firmware V0000.01.00a.P0220 contains a missing authentication vulnerability in the UPnP/DLNA RenderingControl service on TCP port 38400 that allows a LAN-adjacent attacker to issue SetVolume, SetMute, and SelectPreset(FactoryDefaults) commands after a one-time DLNA pairing with no per-command authentication or session token. Attackers can send a continuous loop of unauthenticated commands to override the physical remote, change volume and mute, and reset all picture and audio calibration settings.
